Abstract Niger (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) is an important minor oil seed crop grown in dry areas grown mostly by tribal and interior places as life line of tribal segment. Tribal people mainly use its oil for cooking purpose, above than that there were also other uses. Hence, the niger crop should be protected from the infection. The crop is affected by number of fungal diseases. Therefore, a field experiment was formulated for three years with the four replications at the Niger Research Station (NRS) at Navsari Agricultural University (NAU), Vanarasi, Navsari (Gujarat) on the foliar diseases of GN-1 variety of niger crop. In this experiment, six different fungicides along with one control have been evaluated to control the Alternaria and Cercospora leaf spot diseases, out of which all the fungicidal treatments were significantly superior over the control. Here, foliar spray on the incidence of diseases was compared with the control (without any treatment). All the fungicidal treatments were significantly superior over the control to reduce Alternaria and Cercospora leaf spot diseases of Niger crop. Treatment of Carbendazim + Mancozeb (0.2 %) with two sprays first from the initiation of the disease and second after the interval of 15 days recorded the lowest incidence of Alternaria (14.56) and Cercospora (14.94) leaf spot diseases of niger and recorded the highest seed yield 337 seed yield kg/ha along with the net return with cost benefit ratio graph.

Background: Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is a fungal disease of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] caused by Cercospora canescens and now emerged as an important biotic stress. A better understanding of the genetics of CLS resistance will help in formulating efficient breeding procedures in mungbean.Methods: The present investigation focused on genetics of CLS resistance through generation mean analysis (six parameter model) in two intra-specific mungbean crosses namely, Kopergaon × HUM12 and Kopergaon × ML1720. Four quantitative disease resistance components, viz., Area under disease progress curve (AUDPC), Incubation period (IP), Latent period (LP) and degree of sporulation (SP) were studied.Result: A high correlation of AUDPC with latent period (r = –0.68 to –0.79, P less than 0.0001) and SP (r = 0.72 to -0.81, P less than 0.0001) advocated that both are main contributor for CLS disease development. High heterosis along with high heritability in terms of AUDPC ( greater than 0.09) indicated the importance of genetic factor(s) in controlling CLS resistance. Generation mean analysis of both the crosses revealed duplicate epistatic interaction and involvement of two genes for CLS resistance in terms of AUDPC. This study supports oligogenic nature of inheritance, advocating AUDPC along with IP, LP and SP as important disease indicator for selection of CLS resistance in mungbean.
